The authors introduce two `useful' measures of information, namely \[ H_{\alpha} (P^{\beta}; U) = {1 \over {1-\alpha}} \log \sum_{i=1}^n \left ( {{p_i^{\beta\alpha} u_i } \over {\sum_{i=1}^n p_i^{\beta\alpha} u_i}}\right ) \] and \[ H_R (P; U) = {{R} \over {R-1}} \left [ 1 - \left \{ \sum_{i=1}^n \left ( {{u_i p_i^R} \over {\sum_{i=1}^n u_i p_i^R }} \right ) \right \}^{{1 \over R}} \right ] \] and prove the corresponding coding theorem for the uniquely decipherable codes. There are many misprints in this paper.
